Johnsonville Italian Sausage Recipe (Giveaway)

Tweet var fbShare = {size: ‘small’,}

Getting a great dinner on the table that your family turly appreciates isn’t always easy.  Johnsonville Sausage makes bringing out the “thank yous” at your dinner table a snap with its selection of Italian Sausage.

I pared down the following recipe that I was sent from Johnsonville for use with the Italian Sausage Links.  My family doesn’t like a lot of ‘extras’ in their meals, and I thought the sausage would be plenty of flavor for them without added ingredients and I was right.  I made it with just noodles, jarred spaghetti sauce and the sausage links, and the family then sprinkled on parmesan cheese to their liking. 

I thought it was wonderful! And I had no complaints from the family .
